To make things easy, Transkribus works with so-called credits. Credits are all you need to work with Transkribus. When you run Handwritten Text recognition, credits are consumed. The recognitoin engine selected for each job only decides how many credits are used per page. With the calculator below, you can see how many pages you can process per engine with your credit-package. More about credits >

You can spend the credits on whatever combination you would like – the type of writing and the engine that you choose only regulate how many credits per page are used. You do not have to use all the credits on just one of the above options.

Everything you need to know about the management of Credits in Transkribus.
Note: Below you can learn how to manage credits with Transkribus Lite. For the management of credits in the Transkribus Expert Client please consider this guide.
With Transkribus Lite you can view and organize your credits directly in your browser. The credit manager in Transkribus lite gives you full control over your credits. You can check the credits packages that you own, assign shareable credit packages to other collections and split credit packages into smaller packages (for instance, if you want to use one package in several collections). On the top of the credits manager you can see your overall credits balance i.e. the total of all credits that you have available in your packages.
Initially, you will find your free credit package in the credit table which shows all packages owned by you. Besides the balance of the package, i.e. the number of remaining credits in that package, another important value is the “shareable” property. The free package is not shareable meaning that only you can use it for recognition services.
Once you click on a package in the list of packages, you will see the collections your packages is assigned to (for shareable packages) and a list of all transactions (i.e. recognition jobs, transfers, splits etc.) of your package.
The order in which credits are deducted from packages is as follows:
Note: Expiring credits are always used first within the respective level (collection or personal).
Not all credits are sharable. With the packages “120” and “500”, we offer more affordable but at the same time limited packages. They can only be bought once a month and cannot be shared. Larger packages come with full sharing functionality and do not have a monthly buying limit.
In case you have “shareable” credit packages, you can authorize other users to use them for recognition jobs.
Therefore, the users must be added to the respective collection with a role that allows them to start recognition jobs, e.g. “Transcriber” (see also How To Transcribe Documents with Transkribus on how to manage users in collections).
The “Assign” tab of the credit manager, enables you to assign your shareable credit packages to other collections. For this, you just need to take the following steps:
With the same workflow, you can also remove credit packages from a collection. For this, you just need to select the package that you want to remove from the assigned packages in the list at the bottom of the assign tab and click on remove.
In case you want to split credit packages to assign parts of the credits to multiple collections, you can use the “Split” tab in the credits manager. To split a package, you need to select the package from which you want split credits off and then select the amout of credits that you want to split off from the package. The amout that you have selected will be transfered from the seleted package to a new package that is called “Shareable Custom Credit Package”.
